BCM4318 driver for 64 bit version
 

I have just installed Slackware 13.0 64 bit on my laptop. I am trying to get my wireless card (Broadcom BCM4318) to work. I have searched the forum and found a lot of people having problems but none of the solutions have worked for me. It is dual boot with Windows XP 32 bit. I tried the ndiswrapper and everything seemed to go okay but when I ran ndiswrapper -l it said it was the wrong driver. Then I realized I was using the 32 bit driver from my windows install. Duh!! Is there a 64 bit driver available. I can't seem to find one. I have searched the broadcom site but I guess this is too old for them to support. So far google hasn't found anything for me either. I figured it was time to ask for help.

I previously used Zenwalk 32 bit on the laptop and ndiswrapper worked great.

Should I be able to find a 64 bit driver or can I get the 32 bit to work? Do I need to go back to a 32 bit OS?

Disregard please, I found the proper driver using google, downloaded, installed with ndiswrapper, rebooted and everything works. It connected automatically.

Thanks for posting the solution. That's the LQ spirit.

BTW, how simple was the Google that found the solution?
